52nd Mantel, Halloween Edition PLUS $100 Giveaway!

The time has finally arrived! Today is the 52nd mantel reveal at 52 Mantels. And, to add to the excitement, my fabulous sponsors and I are giving away one FUN shopping spree to either HomeGoods OR Target. How does $100 sounds?! Pretty great, huh?

Before we start the giveaway, let's talk about this mantel, shall we?

Because, it's that time of year, my 52nd mantel is a...Halloween Mantel.

I'll be honest, Halloween isn't my MOST favorite holiday. Sure, I like candy and yes, I like seeing kids adorably costumed. But, that's not enough to place Halloween on my Top Holiday list. However, it's October and I wouldn't dare show you a Christmas mantel in October. So, Halloween it is!

To put together this spooooky mantel, I gathered my dark vases and candlesticks, a plate from Target and some Dollar Tree finds (the felt skull, shiny spider and creepy netting). The skull is glued down to newsprint paper, which is covering a rectangle of foam board. I attached the foam board to an antique window and, ta-da, Halloween Art!

OK, I think I will just breeze right past the Fall mantel that may never get done here, and head right on to Halloween Mantel. Looking good and as my original mantel inspiring blogger I must celebrate your #52 by getting one done.

Congrats my dear friend!! Your mantels have inspired so many! I love the skull art you made for this one, that is what I love about all of your mantels. The creative, homemade touches you add each week. You are amazing and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us in the next year!

Congratulations on number 52! That's awesome! And that mantel is great! LOVE IT! Are you going to keep it up in the next year or will we be seeing a different 52 week project? Can't wait to see what you have in store! =)

Em! Congrats on #52 girl! You are such an inspiration. I know I am not the only one who feels this way. Can't wait to see what you do next. (And I realize I am a little late on this - I love the new look. xoxo)

Wow! How fitting that you were able to end on this great Halloweeen Mantel. Incorporating the End sign was genius!! But I truly hope this is not the end!!I have enjoyed all of your posts immensely, your creative mind is an inspiration to us all!

Oooooh, love the skull; what a great idea!!! This morning reading your blog I was inspired to put together my fall mantel. THANK YOU! I've had the best day. Don't you just love it when you get a little bit of inspiration and it kicks your booty into doing something FUN?
